Megyn Kelly's Tragic Journey from Gaslighter to Useful Idiot

By Josh Hammer

Megyn Kelly wasn’t always a coward. Nor was she always an ignorant stooge for America's enemies. On the contrary, Grandma Groyper's descent into pitiable lunacy is a fairly recent phenomenon. During her long career at Fox News, Kelly made her bones as a no-nonsense, vaguely centrist, mostly nonideological interviewer. Kelly, a lawyer by background, grilled her cable news interview subjects as a prosecutor might hound an expert witness on the stand. Sometimes that made things rather uncomfortable for Fox News, as during her infamous feud with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. But at least Kelly's brand was clear: tough, firm, politically independent." Or so it seemed. [more...]

Golden Globes Celebs Protest ICE, Israel, Ignore Iran Genocide

By Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

In the least surprising news ever, the union of leftist professional virtue signalers known colloquially as Hollywood joined together to protest for open borders and Hamas for the twentieth time while ignoring actual courageous protesters being massacred in Iran. The Golden Globes, an event thrown by foreign media in Hollywood to give prizes to celebrities for screwing up their faces on camera, is mostly irrelevant, especially since it was gutted in the BLM era over (in part) one of my articles about Hollywood's BLM ties. But it serves as a forum for movie stars to show off their latest fashions, for celebrities to show off their latest awkward jokes, and their even more awkward causes. [more...]

The Never-ending Erosion of Privacy

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

In this era of out-of-control crime, certain retail chains and big-box stores are now using surveillance technology in an effort to address the massive amount of theft that has been taking place. Up until recently, most of us were generally unaware that such surveillance methods were being utilized by establishments. But as word has spread, so has public concern. And for good reason. Newly applied surveillance techniques now include the use of facial recognition devices, which quietly scan and store biometric data on customers as they shop for everyday groceries and household supplies. Aside from the privacy issue, these systems allow for deeper intrusions. It is my legal as well as my personal opinion that the time has come to ban altogether the practice of biometric surveillance in retail spaces. [more...]

Two Socialists in New York and Trump in Venezuela

By Todd Sheets, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

The Trump administration captured Venezuelan socialist Nicolás Maduro around the time NYC Mayor Mamdani was pontificating on his own socialist agenda. If New York's new mayor wants to understand where his collectivist policies are ultimately heading, a lovely weekend getaway to Caracas just might be in order. Trump's approach has the potential to return our Latin American neighbors to a life of liberty and the pursuit of happiness while making all of us safer in the process. Hopefully, before the electricity goes out in Times Square, even voters who have been swayed by the history-defying promises of our own democratic socialists will see the light. [more...]

October Trade Deficit Falls 39%, Lowest in Years

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

The October trade deficit fell by 39% for goods and services combined, but even the goods deficit fell to monthly numbers not seen in at least five years. The October deficit in goods was $59.14 billion, down 24.5% from September, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said last week. These numbers should not be a total shock. The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs were on pause for months, then went into effect in August. The goods gap has been shrinking month over month ever since those tariffs were then imposed. [more...]
